His name is Dylan Cressy, folks.

According to Twitter, that's the name of the intrepid Chicago Cubs fan who stormed the field to join in the celebration after Jake Arrieta capped off the second no-hitter of his career Thursday night in Cincinnati.

Cressy, a 22-year-old Indiana native, jumped over the railing just beyond first base after Eugenio Suarez's game-ending flyout and made his way to the Cubs' celebratory huddle unabated, even wrapping his arms around a few players and tapping Arrieta on the head before police hauled him away.

Cressy was charged with criminal trespassing after the incident, according to the Hamilton County Ohio Sheriff's Office, and will appear in court Friday.
